Bob Ingersoll's Wedding.

A pension examiner 10 Illinois was
required to take the deposition OF an ap-
plicant for pension who seemed very
positive about the date on which ho con-
tracted severe cold, which resulted in a
chronic difficulty, for which be claimed
the bounty Of the Government. His posi-
tivensss as to the date led to the inquiry
how it was he could swear to an moi
dent which was comparatively trivial
when it occurred. He said:
II know that tho cold was contracted
on the 21st of February, 1862, because
Bob Ingereoll was married on the fol-
lowing day. How do | come to remem-
Der that 80 wellf Why, Bob was the
Colonel of our regiment, was on guard
duty near Peoria on the night Of tho

and as stood ut my post Bob came
along, and after salutlng him | said,
Bob, il you don't give mo an overcoat,
bottle Of whiskey. or relieve mo from
this duty | will freeze to death He
replied, I'll do all three With that
he took off his overcoat, which had been
made as portion Of his wedding outfit,
and handed it to mo, then from his in
side pocket ho hoisted out flask OF
prime old red-eye and chucksd that ovor

How to be Agreeable.

Very rarely, if ever, young persons
acquire tho ability to converse with case
and aueucyg This implies, first Of all,
good ideas, clearly and sonsibly ex-
pressed. An empty mind never made
good talker, remember you cannot
draw water out Of an empty we'll.
Next in Importance is self-possession.
"Self-posscssion is nine points in the
law"-of good breeding.
A good voice is as essential to self
possession as good ideas are essential to
fluent language. Tho voice, from in
fancy, should DO carefully trained and
developed; full. clear, flexible voice is
one of the indications Of good breeding
it falls like music on The ear, and, while
it pleases tho listener, it adds 10 tho
confidence Of its possessor. be ho ever
so timid. One may be pretty withoat
being popular |; voluble without boing
agreeable. great talker, and yet great
bore. 1t is wise, then, to note care
fully the following suggestions:
Be sincere, he who habitually sneers
Ut everything NOT only renders himself
disagreeable to others, bat will sooa
cease to find pleasure in life.
Be frank frank, open countenance,
and clear, CHEEKY laugh, are worth far
more, even socially, than "pcdantry in
stiff oravat."
DO amiable, you may hide vindic-
tive nature under polite exterior for
time, as cat masks It's sharp claws in
velvet fur, but the last provocation brings
out Quo as quickly as tho other. Ill
aatured persons are always disliked.
Be sensible, society never lacks for
fools. If you waut elbowroom, "go up
higher
Be cheerful, If you have no great
trouble on your mind, you have no right
to render other people miserable by your
long face and dolorous tones. II you do
you will DO generally avoided.
But, above all, be cordial, true cor
diality unites all tho qualities We have
enumerated.

A mass of stones by the roadside
Half covered with feecy balls,
And delicate sprays Of beauty
Where clematis softly falls,
Like drapery fine and sheeny
On the stones OF the orchard walls.
In the orchard old trees are helding
All their crooked limbs widespread,
Where globes of fragrance aud sweetness
BY the air and sunshine fed,
Hang out from the boughs like lanterns,
With fire of gold and red
A squirrel from yonder woodland
Fits in and out 'mong the trees,
And the song of autumn's coming
Is chanted by every breeze,
A pang that summer is dying
Thrills nature in days like these.
Ana the trees whose dainty blossoms
Grew pink in the early May,
Yield now their treasures of harvest
To the bright September day,
AS blossoms and fruit must vanish
SO their leaves must pass away.

An Unfortunate Affair.

1t is hardly to be presumed that Gen.
Reuben Davis would have pursued the
course he did in the unfortunate shoot
ing affair at Aberdeen, unless he had
been very seriously provoked TO it. The
Erdminer contains this account of the
shooting:
During abe proceedings OF the Aberdeen
4 Decatur Railroad meeting on Monday
night, personalities were INDUCED betwee n
Gen. Reuben Davis and Capt. J. w. Lee.
to such an extent that Gen. Davis drew
weapon and fred at Capt Lee. The bullet

and cannot be considered. By her bill
the complainant expressly charges that
the value of the entire property does not
exceed tt sum of seventeen hundred
dollars, and there is not one word in the
answer specifically denying this aver
ment. There is a ge leral traverse of all
the allegations of the bill. But by sec.
1892 of the Code it is declared, that
facts averred IN the bill and not denied
by the answer, otherwise than by the
general traverse, may be taken at the
hearing as admitted"
In view of the fact that the parties
have directed their attention to this
branch of the case, and that no objec-
ton was taken in the court below to the
introduction of this evidence, we should
be disinclined to hold the appellee
bound by the answer in its present form,
but would remand the cause that an
amendment might be made were it not
for the further fact that under the levy
as made, it would be impossible to afford
relief, even if the answer were amended
and converted into a cross bill. The ap-
pellee has not caused his execution to be
levied upon the whole of the land, be-
cause its value exceeds the value of the
exemption allowed by law. His effort is
TO subject certain portion of the lot to
his judgment, irrespective of the value
OF the whole, because it was separated
by fence from the remainder. and as
he contends, was thereby discovered
from the homestead. 1t is manifest
that in this condition of affairs he must
subject the property upon this ground,
or fail of ali relief.
The case in the only phase in which it
can be considered is fully covered by the
recent case, of Baldwin v. Tillery, 81
Miss, 37S. The decree is reversed, the
junction re-instated, and decree di-
ected to be entered here, making it per-
netual
